The Little Wool Shoppe

A small shop in Windsor, Colorado, enlivens the creative spirits of all who enter. Connie and Chuck Huddleson located their shop in a 100-year-old building, once surviving a tornado that tore through the community.

Use Your Imagination


Many one-of-a-kind items, such as this wool-embellished sunflower chest, are on display throughout the store. “I want to encourage women to do things they think are out of their reach,” Connie says. “I remind them that each of us is a designer in some way.”

Vintage Flair


The original wood flooring makes the vibrant prints and solids pop. Vintage dressers throughout the shop house project samples giving inspiration from the shops early days.

Focus on Fabrics


Wool is the focus fabric at The Little Wool Shoppe, but more than 1,500 bolts of traditional cotton quilting fabrics, patterns, and threads are also housed in the shop’s high walls. This provides a perfect backdrop for many samples and kits that fill the stores interior.

Chalk It Up


In the shop’s hallway, enormous blackboards offer the perfect spot to display small projects, with descriptions of the pieces written in chalk next to each one. It’s a great way for Connie to showcase and celebrate the seasons.

Can’t Seem to Get Enough


Customers can’t seem to get enough of bag patterns. In response, Connie adapted a block from another of her Starry Pines patterns to create the Flower Bouquet Purse (bottom). “Being a part of this network of people who love making things is so rewarding,” Connie says.
